I devoured this book! In fact, I spent the last 20 pages pacing my kitchen! I don't know when I last did that! I also spent more time at the laundromat than I needed to because I was pulled so deep into this story. I went into reading this knowing only 'time traveling lesbians' and I'm so glad I went in knowing so little. I was hooked the entire time.
I can see why folks would struggle with this book because it's more prose than you'd expect from a novel and often sparse on details and world building. You have to just go with the details of the world as they come. If you're okay with those then i highly recommend!
